overcast
after yesterday's garden day
sore fingers

I was always scared
of the cornflowers on Mum's patio
so many bees would flock to them
she warned me to stay away,
and in my head
cornflowers equals danger
like Hemlock and nightshade
and that huge patch of nettles
my friend Kevin fell into.
Now they are one of my favourites
because they remind me of her.
